- HENRY s. BREWINGTON, F BALTIMORE, MARYLAND. SEALING DISK on PACKING FOR BOTTLES 0R OTHER VESSELS.

. To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, HENRY S. BREWINGTON,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore city, in the State of Maryland, have invented new and useful Improvements in Seal ing Disks or Packing for Bottles or other Vessels, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in sealing disks or packings for bottles or other closures where it is desirable to seal the mouth air and liquid tightand at the same time not affect the contents of the receptacle.

in any convenient way to the lining and adapted to enter and close the neck of the receptacle, thus preventing injury or impairment to its contents, while at the same time an ingexpensive device is provided which may be constructed of scrap or other cheap stock.

My invention further consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts, which Willbe hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a vertical section of a bottle neck and cap of my improvedv form. Fig. 2 is a view in perspective of the improved bottle-stopper. Fig.

,8 is a vertical section through the same. Figs.

4 and 5 are perspective views of the two disks separated. Fig. -6 shows them held together by adhesive material. Fig. 7 illustrates the invention applied to a fruit-jar or otherlargemouthed receptacle, and Fig. 8 illustrates the inner disk elongated into a cylinder, adapted to extend farther into the bottle-neck.

Referring to Fig. 1, A represents the bot: tle-neck. 1 is an ordinary metal cap. A disk of paraflin paper2 is fitted and held frictionally therein and adapted to form a packing between the metal cap and end of the bottle. A smaller disk 3, of cork, rubber, or other elastic material,- is secured by a staple 4, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4:, 7 and 8, or by ad'- hesive material, as in Fig. 6, to the packingdisk 2, the purpose of this disk 3 being to extend into the bottle-neck and fit its Walls and Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed May 12, 1905. Serial No. 260,184.

Patented Sept. 26, 1 905.

to provide a materialwhich is proof against the action of the contents of the receptacle. This packing-disk 2 may be made of any fibrous material and paraflined or not, as preferred. Ordinary cardboard would serve the purpose very satisfactorily. The disk 3 may be made of any material not easily acted. upon by acids, and ordinary paper would suflice where the contents would not attack paper and it in consequence would not injure it.

In addition to the parts described a filler 5 of parafiin-paper or other material might be interposed between the disk 2 andthe metal cap.

In Fig. 7 A represents a jar or largemouthed bottle or receptacle, and the cap is extended to form the threads 6 to screw upon the threads 7 of the can or jar.

InFig. 8 the disk 3 is modified by making it thicker in the form of a cylindrical block, as indicated at 8, whereby to extend farther into the mouth of the receptacle.

The cap is ordinarily spun around the bead 8 of the bottle-neck in the usual manner, as shown in Fig. l.

From the foregoing it will be seen that a very inexpensive device is formed which may be made entirely of scrap material, thus lessening the initial cost and at the same time affording a practical article for the market. In removing the cap all parts come out together.

Slight additional changes might be resorted to in the form and arrangement of the several parts describedwithout departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, and hence I 1 do not wish to'limit myself to the exact construction herein set forth; but,

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters I Patent, is I 1. As an article of manufacture, a stopper for bottles and thelike' comprising a metal cap and a pair of disks of pliable material secured together and held wholly therein, one

fitting the outer edge of the receptacle-mouth as a packing and the other the inner wall whereby a double seal is formed.

2. As an article'of manufacture, a bottlecap comprising a metallic cap, a disk held therein frictionally and adapted to engage and form a packing against the extreme outer edge of the bottle or receptacle mouth and a smaller disk which enters and [its said mouth,

its edge forming a sealing-contact against the inner Wall of the receptacle-mouth while the 1 r r T adjacent surface of the other disk forms a HENRY 5 sealing-contact with the outer edge of said Witnesses:

month, said disks secured together, wholly within the cap.
